Complaint Review: Kambo Healing Me

I have been working with and receiving medicine from Bryce Draper since February 2018 after being introduced to him through a mutual friend and now ex client of his. He and I connected deeply and I’ve even taken my mother to ceremony. There were multiple occasions thought the year that I caught some weird vibrations/feelings about Bryce’s intentions as he would constantly speak of his image , acting career and movie projects he had going on in the Amazon.

Despite these red flags of his character and where his intentions lied I had decided to travel to Peru to partake in his Kambo Practitioner Training Program with the Matsés people of the Amazon. Upon arrival in early November 2018 my plans of attending the November training shifted into myself trading work building an Ayahuasca center with Bryce’s Shaman Guido. I did come back to town and met with everyone who was heading out on the first training group to say hi and wish them safe travels for the next two weeks in the jungle.

After one week I received a message from someone on the training saying that things had gone terribly wrong and they were on a boat headed back to Iquitos , without Bryce or Kate. The following day I met with the group and listened to what people were saying , there were many accounts of his lack of responsibility and organization , lack of clean water and adequate food for people in the jungle . I was in shock , and after speaking with a sister whom is from the same circle I sit with back home we decided to leave and remove ourselves from the drama and energy.

There was a lot of misconception and confusion going on in my head because I still trusted Bryce as I do not always take other peoples accounts as factual especially if it is against someone's character.. I like to SEE for myself. So I made the mistake of going back to meet with Bryce and after hearing his side of the story decided would go to the Jan training despite a gut feeling not to go. After making back to Iquitos and meeting with the group , I Had felt better about my decision to attend and there seemed to be a group of knowledgeable and sharp minded people attending, what could go wrong.

I would spend the following two weeks listening to Bryce do nothing but what I could only perceive as attempting damage control , by denouncing peoples accounts and characters that were in the first group all the while displaying no sign of personal accountability or empathy for the injuries , illness and traumatic experiences people had undergone the first training. It all became very very very clear to me the absolute truth of the matter and I knew that this was bigger than what my mind had lead me to believe. There were very many mishaps and miscalculations on Bryce's part as far as food and safety went…

One of the fellow trainees was the only person to bring MMS to clean the water for us to drink , there were also scary moments between Bryce and the Matses I witnessed that had me questioning whether or not we would have help getting our belongings out of the jungle (something we as the group would not have been able to do alone ). The last and final blow for me was when I heard about the DEATH of Bailey Provencher, a sweet woman who was on the first training .. be it she came out here with AIDS and knew it would be risky , but she contracted the parasite Girardia ... the same parasite many people on the last group had contracted from not being provided clean drinking water in primavera the same way that we were.

She was not the only one to contract the parasite but that is what eventually lead to her death last week. Previous to her death she had written a review on google reviews about the training , you can go read it yourself ... a few nights ago Bryce told me about the review and said that he was trying to use his lawyer ( his father ) to get the review taken down but the woman who wrote it had died , he then proceeded to ask me to write a review and say my opinion and even to say that I had no idea what that woman was talking about .. I was actually in shock that someone was able to so casually ask me to discredit the personal account of someone who had died as a result of her time under Bryce’s guidance and supervision while here in Peru.

From my eyes and ears he displayed a complete lack of empathy for the death of Bailey, a mother of 3 and then proceeded to tell me all these things about how it was all her fault. I stayed awake the entire night , I felt scared and shaken to the core . The next morning I packed my belongings and left , but not before he spent some time at that point attempting to sympathize for her death which was a complete flip from his words and actions the night before. I did write a review that night as he would not stop asking me ( 4-5 times he asked and it was making me feel uneasy).

I love Bryce , he has done a lot for me and my own mother as I’ve shared with many of you here. I am also the only person other than Bryce who has met every single person on both trainings and can honestly tell you from my perspective and what it’s worth that I am done with him.. this was not an easy decision and now I can see more clearly the work that he needs to do. We are all actually pretty blessed that we had the supportive group that we had and nobody was injured or got really sick.
